Top ten cars to have sex in

One-in-three admit to love-making on the backseat in the last six months – but which cars are best suited for a quick bonk?

Romantic... These have been voted the best cars to have sex in

Here are the top 10 cars to have nooky in, as revealed by new research released today:

1. RANGE ROVER – BUY USED FROM £1,395. READ THE FULL ROAD TEST

Top of the list... The headroom and spacious back seats prove popular with randy couples

Not surprisingly Land Rover’s 4x4 is the best for a quick thrill. With plenty of room in the back seats and, crucially, plenty of head room – the Range Rover is the number one car to have sex in. In 2012 the 4x4 was made even bigger, with an extra 40mm added for rear passengers. Range Rover's lofty seating should give rompers great views too! Word of warning: Electric handbrakes (in the Sport versions) cost around £1,300 to replace, so bear that in mind when you're busy with off-road action. Second hand models can be picked up from £1,395.

2. MERCEDES S CLASS – BUY USED FROM £2,995.

Luxury... The S Class picks up a lot of votes for its comfortable seats

The S Class prides itself on its luxury interior – which is not only good for driving in, but also great for a quick sexual encounter. Voted the second best car for sex, the S Class has plenty of room and is built with the backseat passenger in mind. Not to mention the electric reclining seats in the front, ideal for those wanting to mix things up. Fold the seats down and the 510-litre boot space will also come in handy – you’ll find you probably have more room in an S Class than your bedroom.

3. BMW 5 SERIES – BUY USED FROM £1,395. READ THE FULL ROAD TEST

Steady... BMW worked hard to bring us a car with little bounce - perfect for a quickie

Models from 2010 onwards have aluminium suspension, providing an excellent ride, whether you’re in the front or back of the vehicle. The good news is BMW’s impressive class in power, with a 155mph top speed and 0-62mph in 6.3 seconds, which means that if you do get rumbled mid-bonk, you can move on pretty quickly and pick up where you left off.

4. PORSCHE CAYENNE – BUY USED FROM £8,990.

Steamy... The heated seats and privacy windows are ideal for love-making

Surprisingly, heated seats cost a little extra in the Cayenne, but they’re worth shelling out for if you’re planning on a quickie in your motor – especially as the leather upholstery can be quite cold on bare skin. While you’re at it, you should also think about paying more for the privacy glass, so you can have sex without any unwanted interruptions. Used prices start from £8,990 on Sun Motors – pick one up before someone else steals all your fun.

5. AUDI A6 – BUY USED FROM £2,493. READ THE FULL ROAD TEST

Size matters... With a long body, the Germans have built a perfect car for action

With the seats folded down there’s 1,680litres to fill – perfect for a cheeky romp. There may be loads of room inside but it's a firm ride, so expect a bit of bounce when you’re getting down to business. 2011 models were made lighter by using aluminium instead of steel for around 20 per cent of the body. Importantly, it's also 70mm longer than previous models.

6. FORD FOCUS – BUY USED FROM £695. READ THE FULL ROAD TEST

Reliable... With so many on the road, it's no wonder people are having sex in the back of Focuses

They say size doesn’t matter, which is why the Ford Focus appears in the top ten. Randy couples have been romping in the back of these for decades. Even the older versions (2007 onwards) have excellent fuel economy at 65.6mpg – which means you can go further afield before Focusing on your lover.

7. TOYOTA PRIUS – BUY USED FROM £3,995. READ THE FULL ROAD TEST

Quiet... Passers-by won't be able to see inside easily

With plenty of room in the front and back, it’s no wonder the Prius has sold over two million units since 2001. One-in-three admit to having sex in their cars in the last six months, that’s a mind-blowing 667,000 satisfied Toyota drivers. Rear vision is limited when you’re driving a Prius, which you can use to your advantage if you’re feeling frisky – as people won’t be able to easily see inside. Used prices start from as little as £3995.

8. VOLVO V70 – BUY USED FROM £2,490.

Durability... The V70 seats are heardwearing

The German carmaker calls this motor a “spacious and luxurious estate car,” so it’s hardly surprising people are queuing up to for some back seat nooky in it. However, when driving, even a small bump in the road creates quite a shudder, so expect plenty of bounce when you’re doing The Deed. That said - Volvos are renowned for their durability, so your seats won’t wear out from any marathon sex sessions.

9. LEXUS RX – BUY USED FROM £4,495.

Bumpy... The Lexus scores highly for comfort, not performance

Unlike your chat up lines, this ride isn’t smooth. For such a big car the performance is weak too. On the plus side there’s loads of room to stretch out in, and the large sunroof provides great ventilation to prevent steamy windows. For comfort, there aren’t many cars better, so unlike the RX’s engine, you’ll be guaranteed to put in a strong performance.

Popular... The improved Cherokee has proved a hit with phwoar by phwoar lovers

You’ll be hard-pressed to find terrain rugged enough to stop the Cherokee, making it easier to get anywhere for some in-cabin loving. Newer models have been given a premium feel on the inside too, with high-quality plastics and a leather and wood trim that oozes class. With sales of over five million units since 1992, they can be picked up very cheap on the used market – so you’ll have more spare cash to woo your partner.

SAFETY ALERT: Obviously, never have sex in your car while it is moving or in a public place.
